276 Princess Ning
Luo Rong, a disciple of the Shushan Immortal Sect, didn't wait for Su Chen's reaction, so he asked a series of questions in one breath.
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, but could only smile bitterly.
He only came three or four hours earlier than Luo Rong to inspect the Jianye Ning Palace, in order to prevent the remnants of the Demon Demon Alliance from causing chaos. But he was almost blind to the situation in Jianye City, and he knew less than this Luo Rong.
At the very least, Luo Rong also heard that there was a monk island market near Jianye City.
He had no idea about it.
"Oh, look at me, patronizing my brother's courtesy, I forgot to confirm my identity!"
Seeing that Su Chen was silent, Luo Rong thought he was questioning his identity, so he couldn't help but hurriedly took out a special black token of a disciple of the Shushan Immortal Sect from the storage bag, injected a little mana into his hand, and the token suddenly emitted a faint light.
The most special thing about the foundation building disciple token of the Five Great Immortal Sects is that it can be recognized by dripping blood.
And the refining process is very ingenious, and you can only recognize the master once.
Once the owner's aura of the token is forcibly erased, the token will automatically be discarded and turned into a useless piece of mortal iron. This kind of exquisite refining process can only be mastered by the Five Great Immortal Sects of Shenzhou.
Even if the other monks had picked up the tokens of the disciples of the Immortal Sect, they had no way to fake their identities.
Of course, this kind of special token is expensive, and only the five immortal sects with deep pockets can afford to use it, and every disciple can have one.
Those small immortal sects and small forces can only use ordinary Xuantie tokens, which are much worse and have no such use.
Su Chen looked at the token of the Shushan Immortal Sect in Luo Rong's hand, and knew that this Luo Rong was indeed a real official disciple of the Shushan Immortal Sect, not a fake demon monk.
Su Chen took out his Penglai Immortal Sect disciple token, lit it up, and said with a smile: "Under Penglai disciple Su Chen, I have seen Brother Luo!"
"It turned out to be Brother Su of Penglai Immortal Sect, I am fortunate to be lucky!"
Luo Rong saw Su Chen's Penglai disciple token, and was immediately pleased, "I came down from the Shushan Immortal Sect, and I have only traveled around Middle Earth for more than a year. I haven't gotten acquainted with a Penglai disciple yet, and Brother Su is the first Penglai monk I have met.
I was going to meet them at a monks' market near Jianye City, but I was negligent and couldn't ask for the exact location of this market, so I had a headache and asked around. Since Brother Su is a disciple of Penglai, he should be very familiar with this Jiangnan area?"
"This... I have also just come to Jianye City, and I don't know where the monks' market is located. Maybe the local monks will find out, and you can go and ask someone about it. ”
Su Chen shook his head.
"That's a problem. ”
Luo Rong couldn't help but show disappointment, he had been looking around Jianye City for several days, but he didn't find any trace.
He also invited Su Chen to get together with these Immortal Sect disciples in the future.
A very important purpose for the monks of the Five Immortal Sects to go down the mountain to experience is also to get to know more disciples of various Immortal Sects, increase their knowledge, and make some Taoist friends. In the future, when things happen, we can help each other.
Su Chen smiled lightly and promised to get together when he was free.
However, Luo Rong and the others are just traveling in Jiangnan, so they can wander around casually. But he has a task on his body, and he also has to find out the remnants of the Demon Demon Alliance in the Jiangnan area, which is not so convenient. I'll talk about it when I have time.
...
Luo Rong stayed in the teahouse for a long time, he was very talkative, and chatted endlessly for half an hour before he said goodbye.
Su Chen listened to some interesting stories about the Five Great Immortal Sects, but he was also full of interest. It seems that when I am free, I will also visit the immortal sects.
After Luo Rong left, Su Chen was still in the teahouse, staying for three days, silently observing the people entering and leaving the Ning Wangfu and the movements in the palace, wanting to see if there were any immortal cultivators entering and leaving the palace.
But after three days, nothing was found to be wrong. The people who entered and exited the palace were all mortals, and at most they were only masters of the Grandmaster Realm.
Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Qi Miao, the flag envoy of the dead Demon Demon Alliance, went from Jianye to Gusu County. And it was personally confirmed that the Demon Slayer Alliance did have an important stronghold in Jianye.
With such a major target as Ning Wangfu, it was impossible for the Demon Slayer Alliance to turn a blind eye if it wanted to do something.
"Could it be that I was wrong? The Demon Demon Alliance has no interest in Ning Wangfu?"
Su Chen was thinking.
In front of the gate of King Ning's Mansion, a group of dozens of maids and palace guards escorted a luxury carriage procession that had just returned from going out and returned to King Ning's Mansion in a low-key manner.
"Seventh princess, are you going to see the prince? The princess hasn't seen the prince for months. ”
A maid whispered to the noble lady in the carriage.
"Alas, there is no need, the prince is obsessed with the art of the elixir, and he lingers in the alchemy room all day long, and he may not want to see me. To disturb him, just to annoy him... Well, let's go back to my dormitory. ”
The noble lady in the carriage lifted a corner of the curtain, revealing the face of a beautiful young woman, and sighed softly.
Su Chen sat alone on the teahouse, caught a glimpse of the side face of the noble lady, and couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't expect that he would actually meet an old person he knew here.
Hanshu!
Su Chen also listened to what the jackdaw said, and only then did he know that Han Shu felt deeply remorseful because of the death of a large number of disciples in the Eagle Gate, so he left Gusu County and walked the rivers and lakes with a sword.
For more than ten years, I don't know how to become the seventh princess of Ning Wangfu.
Su Chen's heart couldn't help but move.
He is lacking a person who is familiar with Ning Wangfu to understand the situation.
Since Han Shu is a princess, she should be extremely familiar with the movements in King Ning's mansion.
If there is a demonic evil cultivator lurking in King Ning's mansion, there will definitely be an abnormality revealed and someone will know about it.
...
The convoy entered King Ning's Mansion, and Han Shu, escorted by the maids, returned to the bedroom of the Seven Princesses in King Ning's Mansion.
The maids withdrew.
Han Shu was sitting alone in front of the bronze mirror on the dresser in the bedroom, Gu Ying felt sorry for herself, sighing and pondering something. Suddenly, she saw a shadow printed silently in the bronze mirror, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
If someone else sees a shadow appearing, I am afraid that they will be frightened on the spot.
"Su~, Su Shangxian?!"
Han Shu was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly turned around and saw the familiar figure standing behind her.
Once, the Medicine King Gang disciple Su Chen that she had despised her.
There is also the Aquila Gate.
Memories came flooding back.
That year, Ugly died on the battlefield. In the battle of Dongting Mountain in the west of Taihu Lake, Su Chen, who was famous for a while, has not been heard from since he embarked on the road of cultivating immortals and left Gusu.
And she chose the road of fighting the sword and walking the rivers and lakes alone.
In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen it for eighteen years, Su Chen's appearance has changed very little, and it is still the same as in the past, but the eyebrows between the eyebrows are extremely quiet, which is very reassuring.
Sure enough, he is an immortal, and after so many years, even his face has hardly aged.
And over the years, she has changed from a young girl to a woman in her thirties. There are a few more crow's feet wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, and the appearance is getting older. In another decade or two, I am afraid that she will be the old lady of the palace.
Han Shu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Su Chen as before.
"Miss Hanshu... should be called Princess Ning. I haven't seen it for many years, and I never thought that I was already a princess. ”
Su Chen couldn't help but smile faintly.
When Han Shu saw her former acquaintances, she was unspeakably surprised and happy, and soon showed a touch of bitterness: "Su Shangxian smiled, whether it was a young lady or a princess, what to mention in front of the immortals." But I don't know Su Shangxian, how do you know that I am here?"
"I was passing by outside the mansion and accidentally met you riding into King Ning's mansion in a carriage. I'm an indifferent person, and I don't know many people, and I have some fate with Miss Hanshu, so I came to meet. By the way, I don't know how you are doing in King Ning's Mansion?"
Su Chen asked with a faint smile.
He was worried that Han Shu would feel panicked and frightened after knowing about the Demon Demon Alliance Demon Cultivator, so he didn't tell him directly. It's just a side knock, I want to learn about some movements in King Ning's Mansion from Han Shu.
"Over the years, it's hard to put into words. ”
Han Shu was stunned for a moment, revealing a complicated look.
Han Shu talked about her past.
Eighteen years ago, she blamed herself for the death of the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, left Gusu City, became a ranger, and went to various places in the south of the Yangtze River to experience and increase her knowledge.
King Ning of the Ning Mansion is also an idle and merry prince, who has no right and nothing to do, and likes to travel around like a ranger on weekdays.
Han Shu met this ranger-like, suave King Ning on the rivers and lakes, and they practiced together in the rivers and lakes and concluded a marriage.
Originally, this was a good story.
But once, King Ning participated in a fight on the rivers and lakes and suffered a sword wound, which injured his lungs and left the root of the disease, and he never traveled again. Even for this reason, I had to look for famous doctors everywhere for medicine, but there was no cure.
Later, King Ning heard that the elixir of immortals could cure the root of this disease, so he searched everywhere to recruit immortals.
The immortals didn't meet, but there were a lot of charlatans and liars. Under various guises, he cheated money from the pit of Ning Wangfu, and a Taoist priest taught some "alchemy" to this prince.
In the past three or five years, King Ning has been obsessed with alchemy and spent a lot of money to hire many "immortals" to come to King Ning's mansion.
But King Ning's illness did not improve, but became more and more serious, and his temperament changed greatly, and he was extremely suspicious, always suspecting that others wanted to murder him.
Han Shu, the seventh princess, often hasn't seen King Ning for months. Although she wanted to help King Ning, she had no way to start.
Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Han Shu's words.
If you want to rely on "heavy money" to invite immortal cultivators, how is this possible!
Gold and silver are of no use to immortal cultivators, similar to the dirt on the streets.
Even if it is imperial power and monstrous wealth, it is just tasteless scum for immortal cultivators. These are not beneficial to cultivation at all, and no immortal cultivator will look at them.
The immortal cultivators of the major immortal sects only occasionally go down to the mortal world to experience and taste the various states of the world, but they never intend to stay in the world.
Besides, even if it is an immortal cultivator in the Qi refining period, he is a far superior mortal, and he is not willing to condescend to the powerful, let alone serve the powerful.
Those Qi cultivators who have no hope of cultivating immortals may initially serve the powerful, but after discovering that the elites are nothing more than that, they will eventually be unable to help but usurp power and seize the throne and seek to seize the imperial power.
Therefore, the Five Great Immortal Sects will send immortal patrol envoys to strictly prohibit immortal cultivators from getting involved in the imperial power and the imperial court. As for the evil spirits, rebellion, and rebellion, it is even more unforgivable, and one is killed.
"Su Shangxian, can you help to diagnose King Ning and save King Ning's life?"
Han Shu thought that Su Chen was a real immortal, but not one of those charlatans, so she couldn't help but plead.
